The 2008 research symposium will be held Saturday, February 16, at the Hilton Hotel in Fort Collins, located at the southeast corner of Centre Drive and Prospect Road. The symposium will begin at 1 p.m., with keynote speaker Dr. Richard Bowen and the Pfizer Award address delivered by Dr. Doug Thamm. Poster and oral presentations in basic and clinical sciences by graduate students, veterinary students, veterinary residents and interns will follow. There will be an awards ceremony at 6:30 p.m., including the awarding of the Golden Pipetter, given to the department with the greatest participation in the symposium.
CVMBS is consistently ranked first nationally in extramural research funding among colleges of veterinary medicine. As a way of showcasing the excellence in student research that contributes to this success, CVMBS has developed an annual symposium. In addition to highlighting cutting edge research and innovative research approaches, the symposium provides an opportunity for local researchers and scientists to connect, enhancing collaborations and communication between basic and clinical researchers.
